    well that’s… kinda an endorsement for me lol

    From me too. Reddit wasn’t mad because he’s ‘not friendly’, they were mad that Bill was “too woke” and featured a song and dance number by Rachel Bloom that even I found a little cringy tbh. Not because of the message, but I just think it was kind of poorly done. The only people I’ve ever heard say a bad word about Bill were climate deniers, anti vaxxers etc.

    I’m proud of Bill for not backing down from politically charged issues, when he could easily ignore them to get more viewers/supporters. Scientists shouldn’t let politics interfere with Science and Science Communicators shouldn’t either.

      well put. any time someone sneers ‘woke’ I laugh and check that person off of my list of people to give two fucks about. it’s such a stupid, regressive pattern that you realize is represented in choices throughout their lives.
